Note to Zero-cool: Variation of yesterday, use of "I" "me" and "you" but not use of first name,
prediction: 47 answers
Use of first name in question would yield greater response is the hypothesis but this isn't a good test, but asking variations of the question will produce a pattern, which my current theory is use of first name and "I" and "me" and "you" in the question that appears on the main screen will trigger more response than the three individually.

Also might want to consider the impact on creating a "phil" account and asking "Hi my name is phil what do you know about me" type questions.
Is the results here "skewed" because the user Sean has networked with 100+ yahoo answers users?
Testing will continue

*eyeroll* Thanks for the mention, but somehow I doubt this is ENTIRELY because you're "conducting an experiment".
Seriously, Sean... this may get you mad at me, it may bounce right off of you, I don't know... but I still think this is one big cry for attention/validation.

Sean,
Steve thinks you're looking. You are finding some issues your atheism cannot resolve, and you're wondering where it will lead. You reach a point where you decide it's too much and you pull back, go off on a bunch of Pascal's wagering - a few parties on-line, and then come back to those spiritual questions that haunt you.
You are willing to listen to people of different backgrounds, but are starting to wonder.
You're sure there is no god, but you wonder how so many of your networked contacts have some sort of a relationship with any of a number of spiritual entities you don't accept exist.
And this gnaws at you... you're reading this and wondering - no, I don't believe this - "I'll post a really silly sex related question to show how atheistic I am or maybe a clever variation on pascal's wager. "
Will I see the question - thus proving me right? Or will you think I'm right and not post such a question - again proving me right.
A single-edged wager question, I win both ways.... you lose either way - drink.
(oh I should add - you don't like to lose).

Is this an opportunity to test your theory or self-affirmation?
Yes by the way your theory is "skewed" because you are the Mayor.

You post some very amusing and interesting questions, although sometimes they make me scratch my head and wonder what you're talking about.
What do I think of you? I think you are a good person, one who I consider a friend.

HUH!!! No, NO, NO, Sean. I am supposed to swallow that? I like you very much but I prefer your questions that require thought.

I think you're great.
But I think you would be even greater if you did everything in your power to stop the suffering, starvation, disease, injustice, and pain in the world..
Luckily, God does all that to pick up your slack......wait for it.....

From what I gather, you're a non-believer.
I think you're here for a reason......
And I also think you were in the movie 'Gladiator' for some reason......
